Check all your coil packs and make sure they are "snapped" down tight on the spark plugs.
Especially cylinder #4.
Make sure that the wires attached to the coil packs are not loose or damaged.
Clear the codes and drive it as you normally do.
See if the code returns.
Thanks for the response.

Yes, I checked right away what the code is and I was like - nah, misfire, nothing to worry about. Besides it is pending. but who knows, right?

Sorry, I did not clarify it.
The CEL started flashing when I was approaching the second bump, yet I went through them pretty slowly hence I doubt it was something like a lost connection as the engine experienced more shaking from driving than this little bump. Albeit a bit nasty one.

I am thinking I must have caused the engine to be mad at me for keeping 1st gear for a while at higher rpm... But this is Porsche after all!!

But yeah, I cleared the codes and see what happens next.

My concern is if that could be an early sign of something else.
I know that some cars have some weird warnings and y experience with this brand is still very very very limited.
